Homeland Security funding will be halted if a bill isn’t passed and signed by Obama.

The funding deadline is Friday. The Senate GOP tried five times, but Democrats blocked the bill from coming out of committee. Even CNN reported Democrats did it.

Which leads to our question…

…could the Senate GOP be playing Democrats for fools? If the funding dries up after Friday, is it possible Republicans are crowding Democrats off the stage ’til then, showing they’re doing everything they can, until a nuclear option last resort?

Will McConnell man up, nuke the Democrat filibuster, and drive the bill through…

…leaving it to Obama to veto the funding, because it excludes amnesty?

Looks like we’ll know soon enough.
